Heat
Spleen United Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

lay down your bricks and rest your tired heart
wait till the morning brings another start

when the pain is gone then your work is done

hurt takes you away sometimes
it hurts watching the change in your eyes
new hunts in the morning light
sleep takes you away at night

lay down your head and rest your tired heart
wait till the morning brings another start

when the pain is gone then your work is done
when the pain is gone then your work is done at last
when the pain is gone then your work is done at last




when the pain is gone then your work is done at last
when the pain is gone then your work is done at last

Wow! Hørte denne låten som bakgrunnsmusikk for et program på TV (Drømmehus eller noe), Shazam'et den og forelsket meg fullstendig! Fantastisk låt! Men får ikke kjøpt den på iTunes - hvor kan jeg ellers få tak i den?

@BirkedalHansen

Jeg ser Neanderthal til 72 Danske Kroner på Itunes lige nu. Du skulle tage også at købe "Godspeed Into The Mainstream" som er deres første (og bedste) Album
